BookletGuidelinePrevention, preparedness and response guidelines for Fusarium Tropical Race 4 (TR4) of banana 2023Fusarium Tropical Race 4 (TR4) of bananas is the biggest threat to worldwide banana production. The increasing incursions into new territories motivate this document to provide guidance to prevent, prepare, and respond to TR4 outbreaks. The guidelines highlight actions to prevent the TR4 spread, highlight critical operational actions to prepare the governments' capacities to respond to TR4 outbreaks, and mention the technical and operational actions to approach TR4 containment when detected in a new territory. The guidelines identify actions that national plant protection organizations and relevant stakeholders may undertake before TR4 of bananas incursion in new territories. For such purposes, it provides pertinent biological and scientific information to base measures and collect information to guide the safe international trade movement of the plants, plant products, and regulated articles that can spread the TR4 of bananas. It comprises elements for pest risk analysis, phytosanitary regulations, official diagnostics, and surveillance for detection purposes. Likewise, it provides information on the first response, that considering the limited technical feasibility of eradicating the fungi, focuses on the containment measures by guiding surveillance for delimiting purposes and phytosanitary measures to contain an outbreak. Early detection and response are crucial to containing the outbreaks of TR4 of bananas. For such purposes, the guidelines include information to recognize suspect plants in the field, identify the phytopathological and molecular techniques for an appropriate diagnosis, quarantine actions and cite a suitable protocol for destroying infected plants.

DocumentManual / guidePrevention and diagnostic of Fusarium Wilt (Panama disease) of banana caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (TR4). Technical Manual 2014
Also available in:
No results found.Global banana production is seriously threatened by the re-emergence of a Fusarium Wilt. The disease, caused by the soil-borne fungi Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) and also known as “Panama disease”, wiped out the Gros Michel banana industry in Central America and the Caribbean, in the mid-twentieth century. The effects of Foc Race 1 were overcome by a shift to resistant Cavendish cultivars, which are currently the source of 99% of banana exports. -

Book (stand-alone)FAO strategy / plan / policy / roadmapEstrategia y Plan de Acción Regional para la Preparación, Prevención, Detección, Respuesta y Recuperación de América Latina y el Caribe a la Marchitez por Fusarium de las Musáceas - Raza 4 Tropical 2022
Also available in:
La Estrategia Regional sobre R4T ha sido concebida como un instrumento regional para contribuir a los esfuerzos e iniciativas que se llevan a cabo en la región y tiene como objetivo reforzar la coordinación y focalizar esfuerzos, acciones y buenas prácticas para apoyar la comprensión y reducción del riesgo; fortalecer la gestión de emergencias fitosanitarias en ALC, así como mejorar la resiliencia del sector bananero y agrícola y reducir los daños y pérdidas relacionados con la introducción y propagación del marchitamiento por Fusarium, raza tropical 4. La estrategia está alineada con las prioridades “Marco de Sendai para la Reducción del Riesgo de Desastres 2015-2030” (UNISDR, 2015), la “Estrategia Regional para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres en el Sector Agrícola y la Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional en América Latina y el Caribe (2018 - 2030)” y las Normas Internacionales de Protección Fitosanitaria de la Convención Internacional de Protección Fitosanitaria (CIPF). Abarca el período 2021-2030 y los países de ALC, con énfasis en aquellos que producen y exportan musáceas, insertándose en las estructuras existentes en las ORPF y ONPF para efectos de su implementación. El plan de acción regional tiene tres componentes destinados a fortalecer la coordinación regional e interinstitucional para mejorar los planes de preparación ante la amenaza del focR4T; mejorar la formación de recursos y fortalecer la capacidad de gestión de emergencias en los países y la región y debe ejecutarse hasta el 2024. La estrategia regional y el plan de acción fueron respaldados por las ORPF y 23 ONPF de ALC durante el proceso de validación y aprobación regional. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
